Roadblock

After work I went upstairs to wash dishes and no water. I tried the faucet at the laundry tub and the cold was spitting a bit and nothing was coming out of the hot. I called the water department and here there had been a water main break down the hill from where I live. They said the water had just been turned on and to wait a couple of hours before trying to get the air out of the pipes. So the dishes did not get done and the backing for the I Spy quilts did not get washed, but the water is back on although the chlorine smell is very strong. So tonight I will get those dishes done and the backing washed and I will have busted down the roadblock and be back on schedule.
So I worked on cutting and sewing up patches with the musical fabric and adding another row to Sophia's quilt. Another blogger has contacted me and is sending me some novelty prints. With her's and the ones coming from Janet, and the ones I received from Glen, I will be in great shape to finish these. Thanks everyone for your help!

I have a long list of things that need done around the house and I have no idea at this time what I might get into. Much of what I do will depend on the weather.

Make sure you sign up on my 9-12-2011 post for the fat quarter giveaway. One of the goodies I decided to add in was some selvages. I know there are a lot of quilters using selvages and I would love to make a selvage quilt, but I don't see that I am going to have time to make one in the near future.
